I chuckled, "Well my grandparent's portraits both tell me I should be in Slytherin. As that has been where members of the house of Black have been predominantly over the years, aside from a couple in other houses, such as my uncle Sirius who was in Gryffindor. Though he was disowned before he left Hogwarts so I don't think he counts." I mused.

"But I'm not sure that I can fall under that banner, after all, I wasn't born and raised a Black. I wasn't raised in the wizarding world with its traditions and beliefs."

"I've only been learning about most of them over the past month, so ladling me as a traditional Black is a little early."

Both girls were looking at me with curious looks as I continued talking, Daphne raised her eyebrow, "So if you're not a 'traditional Black' then what are you?"

I shrugged, "I'm me. If I'm being honest I think I have traits from all the houses, but I don't think either Hufflepuff or Gryffindor is for me. I'm not blindly loyal like the puffs or thick headed like the house of the lions are."

"I follow my head and I have my own goals. I think before I charge ahead wand drawn and I use the information I have to my advantage."

Daphne smirked, "Oh you're a Slytherin no doubt." She said confidently, "Just listen to you, "using information to your advantage", and "having your own goals." She added, "If you're not a Slytherin then you've got to be a Ravenclaw then, with all the thinking you've put into this."

I chuckled, "Maybe, I think you're right about me being a Slytherin, I'm a bit too ambitious for my own good, but while I am I don't think I'll be placed there, it just doesn't seem right."

Tracey raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean doesn't feel right?" She asked as both she and Daphne looked at me like I had grown a second head.

I smirked, "think about it, Slytherin favours the Cunning and the Sly as well as those who have ambition." I said simply.

"While it may seem obvious that's why people who value those traits would be placed there, it puts them at a disadvantage. Why would someone who is cunning and sly want to be placed in a house that labels them so?"

Both girls looked at me wide-eyed at my statement and I grinned. I had actually been thinking about this fact for the past two weeks. I had been trying to think about just where I should be placed.

I had come to this conclusion after the first five days of thinking things through. I knew just where I wanted to end up that would prove to give me the best advantages, and that was just where I was heading.

Daphne seemed to be in thought for a minute or so and nodded, "It's a strange way of looking at it I suppose. It would put people at a disadvantage if they wanted to do anything that required them to be cunning or sly about it. Because people would already expect them to do just that." She said and sneered slightly.

"But looking at it that way. Every past generation Slytherin would have made the same mistake by being put into the house of the snakes."

Tracey snorted a giggle, "My dad would hex you into the middle of the next week if you said that to him. He's very pro-Slytherin. I'd love to see his face if someone pointed out that it wasn't very Slytherin of him to be placed in Slytherin."

I chuckled and looked out the window watching the countryside move by. "I'd imagine so." I said with a smirk, "Hey, how long is the journey to Hogwarts meant to take?" I asked. Not really remembering to check the times.

Daphne smirked, "it's a seven-hour trip. We'll arrive at Hogsmeade station just after six in the evening. From there it's on to Hogwarts."

I nod, "that's a long trip. Here's hoping it's a peaceful one" I mused.

Tracey looked at me with a raised eyebrow, "Why wouldn't it be? Are you expecting trouble?"

I smirked, "No but you never know what's going to happen." I said as I continued to look out the window.

The next six hours of the trip on the train proved to be quiet, the three remained in the compartment chatting ideally between each other and discussing things they'd learned from their Hogwarts books ahead of time.

The lights in the compartment had just come on when the door opened from the outside.

Magnus looked from the window to the door to see who it was and internally groaned before turning his attention back outside after seeing who it was.

Draco Malfoy along with his two shadows, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, stood at the door as Draco arrogantly walked in glancing around and completely ignoring Magnus as his eyes went to the two girls and he smiled cockily.

"Ah, so this is where you've been. I was hoping I'd find you, Greengrass," Draco stated as he gave her a smirk.

Daphne rolled her eyes and Tracey gave a snort, "That's odd because we were hoping to avoid you, Malfoy." She stated with annoyance.

But before Draco could utter his response that Magnus could see he was about to Daphne spoke, "What do you want Malfoy?" She asked with no small amount of venom in her tone, something that Malfoy clearly missed or didn't care about.

"I wanted to discuss house business with you. A matter that my father has been trying to breach with you for some time but he has been rebuffed on every advance on the matter."

Draco responded with his best humble tone, which only came off as arrogant.

"I was hoping we could discuss it and you could raise it with your father the next time you see him."
